Pushed by sans-culottes, it led the convention into “The Terror” in early September They passed the Law of Suspects in September 1793, beginning the long periods of tribunals that efficiently sent tens of thousands of French to their deaths

Foreign troops approaching due to France being at war with Austria and Prussia panicked Parisians After France executed their king (Louis) heads of state across Europe expelled their French ambassadors (most of Europe was horrified by France) The Girondins (who led France rapidly into war) and the Mountain start blaming each other for France’s problems The Mountains troubles lead to the formation of the CPS
